Mount 101: Summer Bridge Program

The Mount Summer Bridge Program is a two-week college acclimation program for first year students that includes a 3-4 credit humanities course, community building activities, and field trips. This program helps you get a jump start to a great college experience.

This summer course helps students create long-lasting connections with their peers, faculty and staff and fosters an increased sense of belonging to the Mount community through the following activities:

Tour campus facilities and local community

meet key university faculty, staff and administrators to learn more about what the Mount has to offer

participate in cultural enrichment activities

get acclimated to college life before you start

have fun and make lifelong friends

In Class and Out of Class Learning

Your daily activities will be scheduled in two sessions, session A will equip students with academic tools and strategies for success in our rigorous core curriculum, while Session B is focused on life on campus and the college experience. Presentations are designed to help high school students prepare for their college experience. Coupled with their academic work, College 101 programs will help equip students to understand and prioritize what to look for at college and to hit the ground running when they arrive.
